keep it in one's pants
Don't act impulsively
Keep it in one's pants is a vulgar admonition to exercise sexual restraint, typically directed at men.
The "it" refers to the penis, and the expression implies that someone is being inappropriately forward, lustful, or unfaithful.
I know she's attractive, but keep it in your pants—she's married.
The phrase can also apply more broadly to urge someone to control any impulsive behavior, though the sexual sense predominates.
